In this video Ollie shares with us three "internet gems" : instagrok, bing, wayback machine.
Instagrok
In Instagrok you can "grok up" a term and the SE returns an interactive concept maps on the specific term, which include websites, images, images, texts. In the concept map you can explore a little more deeply. Ollie points out that instagrok is a great digital literacy tool to use with your students.
The video function and the mapping function are two of the strenghts of Bing. In theo right bottom there a some buttons with which one can flick through a number of beautiful educational high resolution images and video of the day.
Although the search engine is a little bit similar to google, it has an interesting way of searching videos with a very advanced way.
The maps feature is another hidden gem of Bing. One of the best feature is the Ordnance Survey Map
This search engine is from the Internet Archive. You can access webpages, videos, software, images and audio recordings. It is basically an archive for over 400 billion webpages of the past.
